New Kingston Hardware
Maintenance hardware for New Kingston offices, apartments and homes.
Plumbing parts, fasteners, tools and paint for the buildings around Knutsford Boulevard and Trafalgar Road, from our store at 44-46 Slipe Road in Cross Roads.
Why we serve New Kingston
New Kingston is the city's business district. Office blocks, banks, hotels and apartment buildings sit close together around Knutsford Boulevard. If you look after one of those buildings, the jobs are small and they repeat: a dripping tap in a shared bathroom, a toilet that won't stop running, a shelf that pulled out of a partition wall, scuffed paint in a corridor.
That makes the hardware run different from a homeowner's weekend trip. You usually know exactly which part failed, you often need more than one, and you want the same part you fitted last time. Malcolm's, open since 1931, is at 44-46 Slipe Road in Cross Roads, just south of New Kingston. Call (876) 926-3611 with the list before you leave the building, and the order can be put together for pickup.
The problem in detail
Shared buildings wear out the same few things over and over. Taps and toilet parts in shared bathrooms see far more use than they would in a house. Wall anchors fail when a shelf or screen is fixed into partition board with a fixing meant for block. Corridors and stairwells need repainting in patches, and a patch only works if the new paint matches the old.
What slows a repair down is the trip out, the wrong part, and then the second trip. Two habits cut most of that. Bring the old part, or a clear photo of it with the make and size, because taps, fill valves and fittings that look identical often are not. And write down what you used last time, so a repeat job means a repeat purchase rather than a fresh guess.
Timing matters too. Office maintenance usually has to happen before staff arrive. The store opens at 8 AM Monday to Saturday, so a part collected at opening can be fitted before most offices fill up. On Saturdays the store closes at 1 PM.
How Malcolm’s helps
If you look after a building and buy regularly, ask about a trade account. Malcolm's runs contractor and trade accounts with contractor pricing. For a larger job, such as a floor of bathrooms or an office refit, call with the list and quantities: bulk orders are priced as bulk and large orders are quoted up front. If a part isn't on the shelf, ask about a special order.
For a one-off repair, bring the old part with you. If you are fitting new pipe runs, the store offers pipe cutting, including PVC, so ask for your lengths at the counter.

Tools and Hardware for Building Maintenance
Building maintenance is mostly an inventory problem. The same few things fail across every office block, and the cost is rarely the part. It is the half day someone loses going out to find one.
The maintenance teams who have this under control keep a small shelf of the parts they know will fail, plus the tools to fit them. Malcolm's tools department stocks DeWalt, Stanley, Makita, Black & Decker and Bosch. If you are setting up a maintenance cupboard for a building, call with the list and ask for a quote on the whole order.
Plumbing Supplies for Shared Bathrooms
Shared bathrooms fail differently from a home bathroom. Taps get constant use from people with no reason to be gentle with them, and toilets flush many more times a day than a household one ever will. Fill valves, flush parts and tap washers wear out first.
The plumbing department carries taps, toilet parts, PVC and copper fittings, water tanks and pumps. Bring the worn part or a photo of it, with the make if you can find it. For a facilities manager, the useful step is to work out which parts fail most often in your building and keep one of each on hand, so a fault is a short fix rather than a work order.
Fasteners and Fixings for Office Fit-Outs
Fit-out work in New Kingston offices keeps running into the same question: what is actually behind this wall. Partition board, block and concrete each need a different anchor, and the wrong one either spins in the hole or pulls out later with a shelf attached to it.
Before you buy, know two things: what you are fixing into, and how much weight it has to hold. Bring both answers to the counter along with the drill size you plan to use. Malcolm's is at 44-46 Slipe Road in Cross Roads, just south of New Kingston.
